1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
Nigeria according to Wikipedia is
said to be 7th largest oil producing country in the world, but
nevertheless, the majority of Nigerians are still living in poverty.
Nigeria is also rated amongst one of the most corrupt countries of the world.
Internet
usage in Nigeria has grown rapidly resulting in the explosion of
Internet Service Providers (ISPS) and Internet Access Point creating an
increase in the positive impacts on the socio-economic and educational
developments in the country.
Unfortunately, the country’s image has
also suffered as a result of the unscripted activities of some Nigerians
using the internet as a channel for the perpetration of criminal
spamming activities.
The major implication of the unconscious
acceptance of this menace in the Nigerian society in the nearest future
has created a high level of disinterest in education and touting among
young people.
In Nigeria today, young people mostly youths are the
ones who engage in this form of anti-social behaviour for the purpose of
living a life of splendour.
In recent times Nigeria has been
labelled as a corrupt nation. There is a need for the Nigerian
government to do something fast and urgent to curb this menace of cyber
crime.
